Research: At RNW Media we believe that digital media can change the world by influencing beliefs and sharing relevant information with a wide range of people. To make sure that the content we create is relevant and powerful, we need to follow a strict methodology of creation which is based on fact-checked, updated, and critical information. This step is all about asking yourself the right questions: what, for whom, and why?
Planning: We also need to make sure that our process of creation runs smoothly, which means having a clear understanding of the different needs of each project and a structured organization of the resources. A good strategy is like a blueprint, where it is clear what the plan of creation is and the different needs this project has. In this course, this step is about learning how to script a story, how to prepare for the shooting, and what resources will the production need.
Scripting: This step is the process of translating the strategies of the planning stage into a grounded story. Both in narrative and visual, scriptwriting is about grounding our concept into a creative plan.
Recording: This step involves the actual recording of footage; all the different assets we need to consider in the creation of audiovisual content: video, images, sound (music, effects, dialogue) text (titles, captions, credits)
